title: Stringscan User Helpalias: TOC - [Introduction to Stringscan] - [Installing Stringscan] - [Text Search] - [Help] - [Acknowledgments] - [Stringscan Version History] - [License]-------------------title: Introduction to Stringscanalias: IntroductionStringscan is a simple but powerful application for recursively searching a directory for a specific string of text. Using an elegant, intuitive interface, Stringscan allows you to select a directory, specify the search term, and see both the file results and the highlighted term in the file quickly. '''Why Stringscan? ''' * Simpler than command-line tools with multiple search options. * More intuitive than other dedicated search tools that feature an overwhelming variety of options and/or a complex interface. * Faster than searching from command-line then opening file in separate program to locate search terms within file.
